“Bam Bam Kam”
“Who’s got my back? I got your back! Who’s got my back? I got your back!” said Seattle Seahawks Strong Safety Kam Chancellor while pumping up his team, before the opening kickoff off the 2016-17 NFL Season.  


Kam Chancellor was born on April 3, 1988 in Norfolk, Virginia and was raised only by his mother. He also grew up with his 2 brothers “Kennan and Creighton Lambert”. In 2005 Kam Chancellor enrolled at Matthew Fontaine Maury High School in Virginia and played quarterback before switching to cornerback when he was given a scholarship to Virginia Tech or “VT”.
Kam Chancellor was drafted in the fifth round of the 2010 NFL draft by the Seattle Seahawks. Over the course of 6 NFl Seasons his stats look very good: 490 + Tackles, 9 interceptions, 3 Touchdowns, and 9 forced fumbles. Kam Chancellor is one of the NFL’s most hard hitting safeties and he looks to improve his NFL career stats.


Kam Chancellor is a four-time Pro Bowler since being drafted in the fifth round back in 2010 means that Chancellor has been to the pro bowl 4 out of 6 seasons! , and is unhappy with the four-year, $28 million extension he signed in 2013.
Kam chancellor is not married and does not have any kids but has 2 brothers “Keenan Lambert” and “Creighton Lambert” and 2 sisters “Krystal and Karla Lambert” Kam also has his mother Karen. Kam Grew up with no father in his life so his mother was the motivation to Kam.

Kam Chancellor has been a great asset to the Seattle Seahawks defense and will be for about the next decade as he has only played 6 NFL seasons.
What Is Undertale?


UnderTale, a RPG game that has won many awards including GAMES FOR IMPACT award, BEST ROLE-PLAYING GAME and BEST INDEPENDENT GAME. The game has many twists and turns, from an evil talking flower to a pun loving skeleton, “it has over 1,000,000 fans” (http://steamspy.com/app/391540).
The consists of players choosing between  a Genocide run or a Pacifist run. It has many secrets and has sparked many theories. There are many lovable characters to talk too, fight and spare. The creator toby Fox, 24 years old, says that “undertale took Approximately 2.7 years to make” (https://www.quora.com/How-long-did-it-take-Toby-Fox-to-make-Undertale)
The Budget of Undertale was over 50K due to the small team working on Undertale ment more pay  for others. They also had to pay for the Engine of the game.They had to pay for a expert of pixel, 2D art Which was about 15K+Over time. The reason so many people like it is because it is different. Most RPG games base is too kill all the monsters to gain Exp and level your character. However,  Undertale takes a Pacifist route and makes players feel bad if you do the regular RPG way and kill everything.
Many games such as Final Fantasy require you you too kill monsters and level up your character to get stronger while undertale has a special mechanic where you can spare everything. In Undertale you have to fight bosses just as Final Fantasy but they require a sequence of certain actions to spare, or kill them. While most enemies in Final Fantasy or other RPG games is to attack, no sequence or anything (Except for a special few) In undertale you can act and make friends but in Final Fantasy its only attack and item ETC

Toby Fox, age 24 as stated  in paragraph two, in an interview responds to a few questions such as I really loved the fact that many of the branches in UNDERTALE‘s story seemed to lead to miniature “voids” where I was forced to contemplate what I’d just experienced without being “improved” in any quantitative way. Do you think that as gamers and people we have become addicted to numbers / money / experience in general?” asks The Existential Gamer and Toby responded with “ The addictive quality of “numbers increasing” is what drives a lot of games. But some of the most important things in life can’t be accurately represented by numbers. As for people’s lives, I have no comment.” and and as a joke TEG asked toby “If you had to pick someone to spend the rest of your life with, would it be Sans or Papyrus? Why?” and TF responded with “Skip” (http://existentialgamer.com/interview-toby-fox-undertale) Fox has surely created an exp all, Undertale will capture many peoples and players hearts.
Thomas Jefferson
Thomas Jefferson was born on April 13, 1743 in Shadwell, Virginia to Jane Randolph and Peter Jefferson. When Jefferson was a child he enjoyed reading and played the violin. Thomas was born into a wealthy family. When he was 14, his father died. His father left Jefferson all of his estate in his will. When Thomas was 21, he took over the land that his father left for him and began to manage it. Jefferson went to the College of William & Mary to study law, to later become a lawyer.
When Jefferson was 33, the youngest in the Congress, he wrote the first draft of The Declaration of Independance. Congress choose five men to write the Declaration: Robert Livingston of New York, Roger Sherman of Connecticut, John Adams of Massachusetts, Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania, and Thomas Jefferson of Virginia. Thomas spent two and a half weeks working on the first draft. It took many tries before he was satisfied with a draft.
Jefferson was sent to France by Congress to join Benjamin Franklin and John Adams. He was there for 5 years, from 1784-1789. Jefferson had always wanted to go to Europe since he was a child, and his dream came true when he was 41. Jefferson loved France. He marveled at the engineering there, new feats he had never seen like the Parisian bridges and the hydraulic pumping system which provided water for the royal gardens. He was inspired by the beautiful architecture there, and France’s elegant lifestyle fit the virginian taste perfectly.
Thomas Jefferson did many things as president, but the biggest and most famous was the Louisiana Purchase. When Jefferson bought the Louisiana Purchase from Napoleon for, he doubled the size of the country. Jefferson bought the purchase for 15 million dollars, which was a good bargain. While there is nothing wrong with this if you believe in big government, Jefferson didn’t believe in a big government. He believed in a small government who followed the Constitution as literally as possible. But doubling the size of the country was not very constitutional, and was an immense power grab for the president.
After he bought the Louisiana Purchase, he sent Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to explore the land he had bought. They went further than planned, and went all the way to the west coast. Their expedition lasted for 2 years, and they found many things. It was a big point in American history. Jefferson also believed in slaves. He did not think that African Americans should be free. He owned many slaves and did not set them free upon his death like a lot of slave owners did, which is peculiar because one of the most famous lines written by Jefferson is, “all men are created equal” and he definitely didn’t think that all men were equal.
Despite all of the disagreeable things he may have said or done, Thomas Jefferson was an elegant, rich, and intellectual politician who did a lot of great things for America.
We shoot into the History of the Bow and Arrow
The history of the bow is very long, it was originally created for hunting. The first compound bow which revolutionized the sport, was made by Holless Wilbur Allen In 1966, it was done by replacing the wood limbs with metal limbs which made bows much more powerful and sturdy.

Bows over Time have changed a lot although the basic concept is the same, a piece of string, some sort of material for the structure, a stick with a sharp point at the end and some sort of material for the vains. But the power and the accuracy of bows have been improved greatly as sites have been made along with stabilizers and bows are now used not only for hunting but also competitions.

The Creation of the compound bow revolutionized the bow industry in the 1960s. The creator of the compound bow is Holless Wilbur Allen who faced the difficulty of transforming a recurve as seen to the left into something like the compound bow as seen on the right. This upgrade made bows more accurate and the possibility to pull more poundage without it feeling like as much weight.

There are 3 main kinds of arrows. There's carbon arrows, wood arrows and aluminum arrows. The carbon arrows are very light but aren't as strong as the others and doesn't bend and break it bends and splinters into lots of different pieces so could be considered more dangerous if not used properly. Now wood arrows aren't as strong and should not be used with high poundage bows but they are the most basic kind of arrows and what were used with the original bows. Now last are aluminum arrows which are slightly heavier and harder to break than carbon arrows and could also be less dangerous due to the fact that they don't splinter like carbon arrows.

The first and most obvious change is the looks the new compound bows look all different while some look more average while some can wierd. The less clear changes are the new compound bows are much smoother than other bows and can also shoot much more accurately and more straight so if you thought a deer was 30 yards away and it was 40 you wouldn't be that far off of what you were aiming for if you were sighted in. Bows have changed a lot over the years and their still changing significantly.
The Clowns
Most people know about the clowns…. Some even say that clowns are taking over… there are many assumptions about the clowns.. Are they trying to kill us?   

America’s decades of clown sorrow begin at Lawrence Elementary when children report two clowns driving a black van offering them candy. School principals are warned about the clown threat, leading to a rash of reported sightings across Boston. No clowns are ever found. In chicago things are getting a little out of hand… The clown, wearing red pants, suspenders and a blue shirt, darts off as the gun is pointed, briefly stops to turn around and then keeps running down a street.

Clowns have been spotted in the following states, Green Bay, Wisconsin, Greenville County, South Carolina, Winston-Salem, North Carolina, McDuffie County, Georgia, flomaton Alabama, Annapolis, Maryland, Palm Bay, Florida, Phillipsburg, New Jersey, Tennessee, Arizona, Phoenix, Houston, New York and several other areas.

Some people may ask When did this happen? Well On Aug. 1, a clown was sighted in Green Bay, Wisconsin, walking around with black balloons.  The clown was not arrested. After seeing this social media went wild, people started following after… it became a trend, Police say to keep your doors and windows locked….Stay safe!
More than 300 million people worldwide enjoy driving to the hoop. This is partially due to the fact that basketball requires minimal equipment and participants. All that is  need to play is a pair of gym shoes, a ball, a hoop and a willingness to compete. Simply dribble a ball out on any playground court and you can practice by yourself. With one other player, both players  can play a competitive game of 1-on-1, and as more people show up, you can play 2-on-2, 3-on-3, and so on

Basketball was invented in 1891 by Dr. James Naismith as the result of a challenge by Dr. Luther Halsey Gulick, the director of the physical education department at the YMCA International Training School in Massachusetts.Gulick was looking for an indoor activity that would be interesting and easy to learn and play during the winter

The Canadian-born physical education instructor made an indelible mark on sports history when he invented the game of basketball in Springfield, Massachusetts, in December 1891. With a soccer ball, two peach baskets, a ladder, and ten written rules, Naismith created the sport within two weeks, after he was asked to come up with an indoor game to keep students active during the severe  winter. Word about "basket ball," as it was originally called, spread quickly, and by 1900 the game had gained popularity at universities across the country. Although Naismith had played the game only a handful of times, he lived to see his brainchild become an international sport, making its Olympic debut in 1936, three years before his death.http://www.encyclopedia.com/topic/James_Naismith.aspx
. Many kids grow up playing in their neighborhood court, on private traveling teams, representing their schools, or a combination of the three. College basketball at the national level offer what many call the most competitive and entertaining games; as a result, offices across the country have competitions or “pools" in which entrants predict which of the initial 64 teams will win the annual NCAA tournament.http://www.livestrong.com/article/343861-the-effects-of-the-game-of-basketball-on-america/
THE ORIGINS OF THE WORD PRESIDENT

Dictionaries tell us that the word president originated from the Latin praesident-, praesidens, based on the present participle of praesidEre. President is an official who presides over a body of people. That body could be a club or it could be a nation. The president occupies the role of authority over the body.

Think about it: When you run for president , you are running for the worst job in America. If elected (or re-elected) you must deal with a hole bunch  of domestic and international problems.

After a few more days of debate, one congressman re-examined the Constitution and reminded his colleagues that it prohibited titles. After murmurs of surprise stoped, members finally adopted the Republican simplicity of “Mr. President”, setting the standard for generations of American presidents to come.

The president works out treaties or agreements with other nations concerning trade and the aid that the United States gives to needy countries. He appoints ambassadors to represent the United States in foreign countries. The president also serves as the Commander in Chief of the armed forces.

First, Presidents must be thirty-five years of age or older. In contrast, Senators must be at least thirty years old, and Representatives no less than twenty-five years old.

There are many more countries that play basketball. More countries’ names can be found at this link Right Here.

The NBA is more popular than the WNBA because they have higher average scores a game than the WNBA. The NBA scores an average of over 90 points a game, and usually score 100 plus points. Women’s basketball averages under 80 points a game. Also, men’s basketball is more interesting when it comes to trick moves and trick shots. NBA players get a lot of their points from 3 pointers and dunks. Only a handful of WNBA players can dunk. Some people like Brittney Griner and Brianna Stewart can dunk. The NBA also use more trick moves to make space between them and their player.They use  trick moves like spin moves, one handed crossovers, between the legs, behind the back, step backs, etc. The players in the WNBA don’t use those kind of moves as often as the men. The game of basketball is always improving.
